Part 1. Nonpasseres. An annotated list of type-specimens in the Bird Collection of the Natural History Museum Vienna is provided for the first time since the preliminary (and meanwhile outdated) compilation by Pelzeln & Lorenz (1886-1888). Part 1 covers all extant non-passeriform bird families (i.e., Tinamidae to Picidae). Included are all type-specimens in the sense of ICZN (1999) art. 72.1., as well as all specimens recorded by Pelzeln & Lorenz (I.e.). Additionally some taxa have been included where information on the type- specimens bears close reference to the Vienna collection. Syntypes known to have been exchanged with other institutions are listed together with their pre­ sent location (as far as the latter could be traced). In total 682 type-specimens (for 351 taxa) are listed in the present study together with full bibliographic references. Introductory and technical remarks To facilitate investigations for colleagues less familiar with the use of the German language entries have been standardized as far as possible. Coverage, methods and data arrangement are explained below. For practical reasons the arrangement of families, species and subspecies fol­ lows the sequence adopted in volumes I-XV of the Check List of Birds of the World (Peters 1931-1987). Families and their authors are quoted from Bock (1994) if not indicated otherwise. All entries concerning type-specimens are arranged according to the follo­ wing standard: Name. The name [in italics] of the taxon given in strictly original spelling (ICZN 1999 art. 31.1.3.) A u th o r ( s) [capitalized] and year of publication Citation [abbreviated; full bibliographic reference under „References“ p. 307 - 345) Type locality (in brackets) as originally given in the description [subsequent ©Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at restrictions or comments in square brackets] Synonyms , nomina nuda and manuscript names are provided if they are of interest concerning the type status of the specimen in question. Valid name [if not indicated otherwise nomenclature follows Peters (1931- 1987)] Status (following ICZN 1999 art. 72.1.) Specimen data Inventory number, preparation (in brackets, see abbreviations), sex (d* / 9 as indicated on label), age (as indicated on label), locality (as indicated on label; [geographical coordinates and remarks optional, in square brackets]), collec­ tor, collectors number / field number (when extant), origin / provenance, way of acquisition (,,Kauf‘ = purchase, „Tausch“ = exchange, „Geschenk“ = donation), year of acquisition, acquisition number. [Specimen data have been literally transcribed from the original label / field label (if extant). Whenever possible, incomplete label data have been com­ pleted from the original entry in the acquisition book or any other original documents available, e.g. the sale list or an accompagnying letter. Various synonymic expressions and abbreviations, however, have been standardized: for example, for „ f‘, „fern.“, „foemina“, „Weibchen“, „weiblich“, „w“ the signature $ has been used throughout.] Annotations In the annotations following the specimen data additional information is pro­ vided whenever necessary, and evidence for the type status is discussed in detail. Essential parts of the original description are quoted verbally to explain decisions about the type material (number of specimens, location of type material a.o.). Subsequent designations (whether valid or invalid under the present code) and status given in Pelzeln & Lorenz (1886-1888), as well as location of material exchanged with other institutions are discussed. Verbal quotations are given under „quotation marks“, remarks by the authors of the present study are indicated by [square brackets]. Probable or presumed lectotypifications by various authors in the past have been interpreted differently in modem type lists. This represents a rather 9 serious problem and may influence future nomenclature considerably. Faunistic lists©Naturhistorisches and listings Museum of Wien, collection download unter holdings www.biologiezentrum.at (both including taxonomic background as a matter of course) often contain expressions like „type exa­ mined“ or „type in XXX collection“ (e.g. by Bonaparte, Salvadori, Schlegel, Salvin, Hellmayr, Hartert a.o.), which in our opinion just served as a state­ ment that the author had consulted a „typical“ specimen sensu lato. Indications like that obviously provide no clue, whether the compiling author considered the particular specimen a syntype or a holotype - and may certain­ ly not be interpreted as a valid lectotype designation under the present code. Surely it must be taken into consideration that the understanding of the term „type“ has undergone considerable changes during time. When Schlegel mentioned „type“ in his catalogue of specimens in the Museum Pays-Bas, he usually only considered specimens that had been used for the respective pla­ tes - even when Temminck's original description exactly specified which spe­ cimens formed the basis for his taxon. This interpretation was quite common in Schlegels' days, but if we accept this as a valid lectotypification it is most probable that we totally misinterpret Schlegel's intentions (and the sense of the present code). If the original description (which was in many similar cases probably not even consulted) reveals clearly that the taxon was based on more than one specimen, any valid designation of a lectotype („the type“ before 1999) should have included a discussion of the fate and status of the remaining syntypes (cf. ICZN art. 74.5. subsequent use of the term holo­ type / the type). In our opinion the crucial points are „selection“ and „designation“ - i.e. did the revisor in fact try to select a particular specimen after investigating the original type series, or was he just satisfied to have seen one (of more) typi­ cal specimens. In all cases when the interpretation remained doubtful we have maintained the use of syntypes rather than accepted a lectotype. A type list has first of all to provide collection-related background informa­ tion concerning a specimens' individual history, which is usually not availa­ ble for any taxonomist not thoroughly familiar with the collection in ques­ tion. These informations should form a serious basis for the eventually sub­ sequent selection of a lectotype by any specialist for a genus (or group of genera), if there is any taxonomic necessity (ICZN 1999 art. 74.7.3.). Therefore we have deliberately refrained from designating any lectotypes in the present list, because we are personally convinced that lectotypes should be designated only in close connection with the purely taxonomic revision of a small group. ©Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at 10 General aspects of documentation Many of the type specimens in our collection originate from the 19th and early 20th century, when field labels, specimen numbers, inventories and type designations [original designation ICZN (1999) 73.1.1.] were little used or even unknown.

  • Proposal for the Inclusion of Species on the Appendices of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals
    1 / 2 Proposal II/7 PROPOSAL FOR THE INCLUSION OF SPECIES ON THE APPENDICES OF THE CONVENTION ON THE CONSERVATION OF MIGRATORY SPECIES OF WILD ANIMALS A. PROPOSAL: Listing the entire population of Glareola nuchalis on Appendix II. B. PROPONENT: Government of Kenya. C. SUPPORTING STATEMENT: 1. Taxon: 1.1 Class: Aves 1.2 Order: Charadriiformes 1.3 Family: Glareolidae 1.4 Genus/species/subspecies: Glareola nuchalis 1.5 Common names: English: Rock Pratincole, White-collared Pratincole French: Glarède aureole 2. Biological data 2.1 Distribution Distributed in West and central Africa. Scarce in eastern Africa. 2.2 Population No detailed census data available, but the best guess information available puts the number at >25,000 within its distribution range. 2.3 Habitat Exposed rocks in large rivers and streams used for breeding. May rest on sandbars, when rivers flood. Also found in coastal localities and other inland waters. 2.4 Migrations Locally common resident and regular intra-African migrant. Migrates within its distribution range. Most post breeding dispersal occurs during the wet season. 3. Threat data 3.1 Direct threats Unpredictable fluctuations of water levels of local rivers during breeding seasons affect the breeding performance. Sand mining along rivers has severe impacts on the availability of suitable habitats in the riparian areas for nesting. 3.2 Habitat destruction Riparian land use activities within the range states limits the availability of suitable roosting and nesting areas along rivers. 3.3 Indirect threats The loss and degradation of catchments for all wetlands within its range. 3.4 Threats connected especially with migrations None known.

    Abstract Marcot, Bruce G. 1995. Owls of old forests of the world. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW- GTR-343. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 64 p. A review of literature on habitat associations of owls of the world revealed that about 83 species of owls among 18 genera are known or suspected to be closely asso- ciated with old forests. Old forest is defined as old-growth or undisturbed forests, typically with dense canopies. The 83 owl species include 70 tropical and 13 tem- perate forms. Specific habitat associations have been studied for only 12 species (7 tropical and 5 temperate), whereas about 71 species (63 tropical and 8 temperate) remain mostly unstudied. Some 26 species (31 percent of all owls known or sus- pected to be associated with old forests in the tropics) are entirely or mostly restricted to tropical islands. Threats to old-forest owls, particularly the island forms, include conversion of old upland forests, use of pesticides, loss of riparian gallery forests, and loss of trees with cavities for nests or roosts. Conservation of old-forest owls should include (1) studies and inventories of habitat associations, particularly for little-studied tropical and insular species; (2) protection of specific, existing temperate and tropical old-forest tracts; and (3) studies to determine if reforestation and vege- tation manipulation can restore or maintain habitat conditions. An appendix describes vocalizations of all species of Strix and the related genus Ciccaba. Keywords: Owls, old growth, old-growth forest, late-successional forests, spotted owl, owl calls, owl conservation, tropical forests, literature review.

  • Redwinged Pratincole Sometimes Mixes with Flocks of Blackwinged Pratincole, but the Nature of Such Encounters Has Not Been Documented
    454 Glareolidae: coursers and pratincoles plain system. Along the Chobe, large migrant flocks occurred in June (Randall 1994b). Reporting rates for Zimbabwe (Zone 5) were highest July–October, which may reflect movement of Okavango birds to the middle Zambezi River when the latter river’s water- levels are low. Breeding: Breeding is primarily in the late dry and early wet season: September–October in Mozambique and August–December elsewhere in southern Africa, usually when water-levels are falling or at their low- est. In Zimbabwe it may breed as late as February, but the peak is in November (Irwin 1981). Atlas data con- firm a spring/summer breeding season. Interspecific relationships: In the summer months the Redwinged Pratincole sometimes mixes with flocks of Blackwinged Pratincole, but the nature of such encounters has not been documented. The flocks are usually separated by the Redwing’s greater preference for habitats near water. Historical distribution and conservation: Although Stark & Sclater (1906) regarded the Redwinged Redwinged Pratincole Pratincole as ‘an accidental visitor’ to South Africa, this is Rooivlerksprinkaanvoël unlikely to have been the case even then.
